Pen Farthing Paul “Pen” Farthing (born 1969) is a British former Royal Marines commando and founder of the Nowzad Dogs charity.

In the Royal Marines, he rose to the rank of sergeant. He is married to Kaisa Markhus, the country director for Ascend Athletics, an organization that encourages Afghan women to compete in athletics. Founding the Nowzad charity Wylie: The Brave Street Dog Who Never Give Up is one of many books written by Farthing, who is also the founder of the charity Nowzad Dogs and the author of several other publications. In 2006, Farthing was sent to Afghanistan, where he intervened in a dog fight taking place on the street in the town of Nawzad. During his tour of duty, he took with him one of the dogs, who was later given the name Nowzad. At the end of his tour of duty, Farthing made it his mission to bring the dog back to the United Kingdom. This experience motivated him to found the nonprofit organization Nowzad Dogs. Evacuation of animals from Afghanistan (2021) During the fall of Kabul in August 2021, Farthing decided to stay in the city until all his employees in Afghanistan, together with their family members (in total 71 people) , has been granted permission. to leave Donations in excess of £200,000 were collected to charter a flight for the purpose of evacuating Nowzad employees, their families, and animals housed at the charity’s sanctuary. During the fall of Kabul, Farthing said the British Ministry of Defense prevented an evacuation flight from landing at Hamid Karzai International Airport. These claims were refuted by Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, who stated that his department was unable to get his workers as well as their dogs through the checkpoints set up by the Taliban and the crowd surrounding the airport, and that the jet has to wait some time. He went on to say that he would not “put dogs before people” in his decision-making process. On August 23, the United Kingdom government issued visas to 68 of the 71 employees and family members of those employees. However, the government did not give permission for the charity animals to be evacuated. Permission was finally granted on August 25. On August 27, members of the British Armed Forces assisted Farthing and his animals on their way to the airport. Because the British government rejected Farthing’s offer to evacuate more people using the empty seats, he was the only passenger on the private plane to leave Afghanistan with them on August 28. This was despite the fact that the plane has the capacity to evacuate another 229 people. Afghan employees of the organization were denied entry to the country by the Taliban at an airport checkpoint on the grounds that they did not have the required visa stamps. Controversy During the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from Afghanistan, Farthing became the focus of several newspaper articles written against him by members of the ruling Conservative party as well as their allies. Ben Wallace, the defense secretary for the United Kingdom, accused Farthing of interfering with efforts to evacuate British and Afghan friends from Kabul. Wallace also said Farthing and his supporters engaged in intimidation tactics and misrepresentation of events. A recording of a threatening voicemail Farthing sent to Peter Quentin, a special adviser to Ben Wallace, was obtained by The Sunday Times. In the voicemail, Farthing accused Quentin of preventing him from boarding his flight and warned that he would “destroy” Quentin if the flight was not approved and if the travel documents were not immediately turned over to Farthing’s employees and the their family members. Farthing’s supporters accused the Ministry of Defense of making a malicious attempt to discredit him by leaking the audio recording. Hours later, Farthing issued an apology for the voicemail, explaining that he left it out of anger. Farthing was then also accused by the press of using his connections to influence UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to intervene personally. Despite the fact that there is no evidence that Farthing had any capacity to directly influence the UK Prime Minister in this way, Farthing was later accused of using his connections to influence Boris Johnson to personally intervene. Evidence suggests that Pen Farthing was made a scapegoat by government ministers responsible for the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the briefings to undermine Boris Johnson, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time. This evidence refutes a large part of the controversy. Awards Nominees for the Animal Hero Awards presented by the RSPCA (2013). Received the “CNN Hero of 2014” award from CNN.
